Parachute Watch Straps

Parachute watch straps are lightweight, elastic straps inspired by the bands originally used by military paratroopers. Designed for comfort, flexibility, and breathability, they adapt naturally to the wrist and remain comfortable throughout the day—especially in warm or active conditions.

At Seals Watch Company, our parachute straps use a No-Pass, single-layer construction, allowing the watch to sit lower and more naturally on the wrist without excess material beneath the case. The result is improved balance, reduced bulk, and a cleaner profile across a wide range of watch styles.

Why Choose a Parachute Watch Strap?

Parachute straps are favored for their comfort and versatility. The elastic webbing flexes with wrist movement, reducing pressure points and eliminating the stiffness found in many traditional straps.

They are particularly well-suited for daily wear, warm climates, and active use. The material dries quickly, resists salt and chlorine, and maintains a secure fit whether worn in the water or on dry land.

No-Pass vs Pass-Through Straps

Traditional pass-through straps run beneath the watch case, adding material between the wrist and the watch. While effective, this added layer can raise the watch and affect balance on the wrist.

A No-Pass strap removes that extra layer. By attaching directly at the lugs, the watch sits lower and feels more stable—an advantage that becomes especially noticeable during extended wear.

Designed by Seals Watch Company in California, our parachute watch straps reflect a focus on practical design, thoughtful construction, and everyday usability.
